Description
What makes this guitar special: Warm, rich tone with a beautiful acoustic resonance & a nice, beefy neck for superior comfort. Cool vintage vibe with a gorgeous sunburst finish & professionally set up by our luthier so it plays like a dream.
Cosmetic Condition: Great shape for a nearly 60-year old guitar. Various minor nicks & dings; surface scratches & mild weather checking. The original tailpiece broke & was replaced with a newer chrome one. The original tailpiece is included with the guitar, but is missing the bottom half. Also, at some point in its life there was a pickguard mounted to the bass-side of the guitar as evidenced by the extra holes & bracket impression in the side. A previous owner had converted the guitar to a lefty & added side-dot markers to the treble-side of the neck. The original nut was also replaced. Overall the guitar has a great look to it with a wonderful patina.
Neck: Chunky, one-piece mahogany neck with cream side-dots. Beautiful, dark Brazilian rosewood fingerboard with mother of pearl dot inlays. Original frets are in great shape with hardly any wear. Original Kluson Deluxe tuners are in perfect working condition. 1 11/16" unoriginal nut; 24 3/4" scale length. Neck is straight & truss rod works fine.
Body: Double-bound, hollow maple body with dual F-holes. Unoriginal chrome trapeze tailpiece & unoriginal, compensated rosewood bridge with floating base. Original tortoise pickguard is in great shape with no cracks. Guitar weighs 5 lbs 13.8 oz.
Pickup: Original 'dog ear' P-90 single coil - 7.86K ohms. Master volume & tone controls with original gold 'top hat' knobs. All electronics are in perfect working condition.
Case: Period-correct, brown hardshell case manufactured by Stone Case Co included with the guitar.
